"Valence" electrons or the free electrons

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electrical conductivity can be defined as the property of the substance to conduct electricity, heat etc through it. This conductivity is caused due to the migration of particles which are electrically charged within the atomic lattice of the substance.

The outermost electrons or the electrons in valence shell are the main cause behind the conductivity property exhibited by any substance. Higher the number of electrons in outer shell, higher the conductivity.

Since these electrons are in the outermost shell, they can move easily. Under an impact of applied heat, charge these electrons migrate through the atomic lattice and thus conducts electricity, heat as the case may be.

A 4.04 kg block slides down a smooth, frictionless plane having an inclination of 30◦. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

What a lot of words to solve such a simple problem! The perpendicular force is the one that is pushing straight down on the plane. There is no side to side movement here or friction acting on this dimension at all. Perpendicular force is the same as the weight of the block. That's it! Perpendicular force is also normal force which is the same thing as weight:

w = mg so

w = (4.04)(9.8) and

w = 4.0 × 10¹ N
